Excavation work is set to resume on the final phase of Truman Parkway after the contractor, Balfour Beatty and Atlanta Gas Light pledged on Tuesday to coordinate efforts in locating gas lines, according to the Georgia Department of Transportation.

Despite added precautions, there is still a chance workers will encounter unmarked utility lines, the transportation department warned.

After gas lines were cut two times in two days last week at the work site, the contractor, utility company and transportation department met Tuesday to work on a way to prevent similar incidents, said Jill Nagel, department spokesperson.

The utility company agreed to have a standby crew available when underground operations are occurring in near marked gas lines, Nagel said.

As the location of construction progresses, Balfour Beatty and Atlanta Gas Light will coordinate to ensure that marked utilities match Atlanta Gas Light’s utility maps prior to moving into the next area, she said.

There is still the chance workers will encounter unidentified utilities, but the additional measures should “greatly reduce that possibility,” according to the transportation department’s district construction engineer, Will Murphy.

The brief halt in digging, which was announced Friday, is not expected to impact the project’s completion date, expected early next year.
